Message-ID: Hey Everybody, I haven't had time to do all the testing on this yet, but so far signs point to my families Airport Extreme Base Station limiting my connection to 35 kb/sec vs the 150-160+ kb/sec minimum connection before. When I first connected to it and setup everything it worked fantastic. Recently I've installed the 802.11n enabler off of the cd that came with it. I don't know if I can say it's a result of that because I believe that I had the same 160+ kb after that for a while, and this 35kb cap has only recently appeared. Does anybody know what would be limiting my connection to such a slow speed. I don't even think 802.11b is this slow. I currently have a Mac Mini ( Core Duo ) connected to it, my MacBook Pro ( Core 2 Duo ), my Wii and will eventually have a PC laptop ( 802.11b ) connected to it as well. >From Colin Wheeler http://code.google.com/p/redflag -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I tested the connection speed on the Mac Mini and it's connected through Ethernet and it had the same 35 kb limit. Turns out I restarted the DSL modem and it's back to it's usual speediness. I guess as it happened a day after installing the 802.11n enabler after I came back home and reconnected with it for the first time since installing the enabler I got ahead of myself and introduced cognitive biases into this situation and didn't start out with the simple solution. I just kept restarting the Airport Extreme base station instead of the DSL modem. It's finals time for me people! *sigh* Anyway thanks for all your help! Finals will be over for me after tonight!

It seems there may not be a skip count on podcasts and it doesn't like to record last played or mark things as played/not played in custom playlists. WTF. This seems like a missing feature. If skip count isn't how many times you have skipped the song before completion, then what is it?

I can't believe apple wouldn't create something as simple as "Podcast - isMakedAsNew" Though I can understand a bit, iTunes smart playlists are designed around songs and thus adapting a system for songs around non-song media would complicate things a bit. Still all I want is to simply see new Podcasts from my list and nothing else, something that shouldn't be this hard at all considering it's so easy to do in Mail. >From Colin http://code.google.com/p/redflag On 8/10/07, Brandon Newendorp wrote: > > You could add a third condition to John's playlist to require a skip count > of 0 as well; make sure it is set to require all conditions, not any of > them. > > > I haven't tested this, as I don't have any podcasts, but I think it might > work for you.

Message-ID: <24F8712C-6136-4C17-AB22-B139BD00A6C5@gmail.com> Hello, Well i think it's official, I turned on my iPod yesterday expecting nothing less than I do with it about every day. I started listening to podcasts before I go to sleep and got about 25 min in and then suddenly it stopped. Then I heard it... the dreaded hard drive clicking sound and after that it wouldn't respond to anything fast, it would always boot and occasionally you could move around in the menu but it was clear to me something was wrong with the hard drive. At least I don't believe i've ever heard it made consistent clicking sound before. I think im gonna stick it in the freezer overnight and make sure there isn't anything critical on there when I plug it in tomorrow (i don't believe there isn't anything on it that I don't have backed up onto my LaCiE 200GB Backup drive.) Thank goodness for backups :D That said I am currently considering 2 options if the iPod can't be restored into it's former condition which I don't have high hopes for at the moment (1) I know there are professionals who will charge a small fee to put a new hard drive in it but so far the prices for this seem the same as the cost of a new iPod nano ( at least as I see here http://www.rapidrepair.com/shop/4g-ipod-hard-drives.html ) or (2) buy a new iPod nano. I know Apple is holding a event next Wednesday (i believe) in which they are expected to release new iPods, *Mr burns grin* almost seems too convenient. So my question is assuming I decide to have the hard drive replaced what places would people recommend? I am holding off doing anything for now till Apples event next week, but for now I'm wondering what places anybody's used for iPod repair beyond sending it into Apple?

Usually you can just open it up and reseat the hard drive connector to the logic board and it's taken care of. I've had to do this a couple times with my 4G iPod. Sounds crazy, but I wouldn't be surprised if it fixed things. I'd be happy to give it a try sometime, if you want. -- Brandon Newendorp On Aug 30, 2007, at 11:55 PM, Colin Wheeler wrote: > Hello, > > Well i think it's official, I turned on my iPod yesterday expecting > nothing less than I do with it about every day.

I pried open the case and took the connection out from the hard drive and put it back in. So far it doesn't look good, but at the same time I need to charge the battery on it before I can make any conclusions for sure.
